Primary Care Providers Must Document Client’s THSteps Services Performed by Different Providers

Information posted April 24, 2009: Primary care providers are encouraged to complete the Texas Health Steps (THSteps) medical checkup as part of the medical home for their clients who are enrolled in Primary Care Case Management (PCCM). Providers that refer these clients to a THSteps provider for a THSteps medical checkup must document that THSteps medical checkup in their clients’ records. If a client self-refers to a THSteps provider for a THSteps medical checkup, the provider that performs THSteps medical checkup services must work in collaboration with the client’s primary care provider and provide the THSteps medical checkup results to the primary care provider to ensure continuity of care.
Primary care providers that want to become THSteps providers may enroll online on this website or they may download the Texas Medicaid Provider Enrollment Application from this website and submit it by mail.
